If you cannot sit alone in a room for a long time without having to do something to stimulate yourself, how do you know that the action you are taking in your business is necessary or if you’ve just convinced yourself it’s necessary?

If you cannot consistently choose what you eat but instead eat to satisfy the feeling that is present right now, even if it doesn’t align with where you say you want to go, how do you know that you aren’t acting based on your feelings in your business?

If you find yourself reaching for your phone not to fulfil a task but to give yourself a dopamine reward how do you know that your to do list isn’t the exact same thing. A constructing designed to mirror the state of agitation, urgency and anxiety inside you rather than what’s actually necessary?

Stomach issues, bowel movement issues, bloatedness, muscle pain, low energy, burnout, impatience, negative emotion.

It’s tends to look like BUSYNESS.
